"Bor" - light and cheap spaceplane for 4 kerbonaut/tourists

Let me introduce workhorse of kerbal space program - passenger space plane "Bor". It is almost perfect solution for transporting crew/tourists to Kerbin orbit and back, after refueling you can simply reach Mun/Minmus orbit or surface. Comfortable in flight, cheap, fast and compact, you can order this piece of engineering art in our company "Blue "Whale for only 21 977 kerbucks (flight cost is only 5444 kerbucks).

Brief stats:

  • Mass on launchpad / empty craft: 33t / 4.5t
  • Details on launchpad / in space plane: 36 / 27
  • dV on orbit 100x100 km / fully fueled: 600+ / 2164 m/s
  • Passengers/crew: up to 4 (can flight in full automatic mode)
  • Rocket powered ascent / unpowered descent without parachutes (water landing without damages also possibly)

Interesting. This looks like quite a cheap craft for crew rotation/transfer to LKO stations. However, the Delta-V when in orbit is a bit on the low side - 600m/s without refueling won't be enough to dock with a station above 200km LKO. Finally, I highly recommend you proofread your posts more carefully - there are several grammatical errors in it. Here's an edited version:
